Tricky christianSands

[cheekymonkey1979]

This is so quiet!

[imjaiu]

One of the sickest beats of all-time. So nice.

[bama0917]

still as cool now as when i first heard it

[969FatAlbert]

Haven't heard this one since early 2000's. They should do Karma Coma Part Deux

[Dekompoze]

smooth

[madcrafty2]

Tricky kills me because he does his thing and just don't give a fuck and Martina's the same way, best to 'em.

[mateohaggis]

soul

[ghettiegirl]

tricky is awesome. go trick!!

[DavidL999]

Looks like something David Lynchn might have directed.

[luminaire44]

I was so lucky to see him in 96 or 97. This and Pre Millennium Tension were his best.

[imjaiu]

Agreed! Those 2 albums are classics. 'Endtroducing' is another great one from that time.

[DEREKNEILSON]

Tricky was created in a lab. Martina Topley Bird was the nurse on call. I have proof..ok, I don't. But you saw it! PMT is an awesome disc.

[harmonykor]

He got the sample in the begining of the song from balc sheep let's get cozy. Cause it's cool when ya cause a cosy condition.

[SeptemberGroup]

a little further back...Dana Dane, not Blak Sheep...I think they used it b'fore tho he's one of the newest of the official "old school" rapper producers since I hear we are forming a time line now...lol

[yeahifnsaidit]

It's actually Slick Rick off of "La Di Da Di," but a lot of people get him and Dana Dane mixed up because Dana used a faux-English accent thing.

[amire80]

He was fucked in a very good way then.

Playing gigs with half-hour songs. Cross-dressing. Writing some of the most original songs of the decade. Collaborating with the most unexpected singers and video directors.

Wicked.

[callasexperience]

distorted??? that s what happen when u spend 5 years working with adrian

[cyberpunk0110]

like a david lynch film.

[callasexperience]

I was working for him

[callasexperience]

as for pre-millenium it was a bad jam session with his guitatist it should never have been released. tricky wanted to fuck up the record company by giving a bad un-listenable demo to say fuck you music industry

[lilabitch]

How did you come across that information?

[HierPower]

ur mind is distorted.. lol

[karlharlequin]

uhh right.

[callasexperience]

To al398247

we went to festival all over Europe and tricky wrote lyrics about his experience like the angel god fearing woman on the plane going to Christiansand sitting behind us and the evil bitch journalist who interviewed him at the helsinky festival tricky said she scared him and hated him

[emidark]

bizarre video with surrealistic images. I remember listened 'Pre-Millenium Tension' and I always said that it was an stranger album with minimalistic little sounds with all trip-hop genere. Another songs like 'Bad Dreams' or 'Tricky Kid' or 'Vent'are the most surrealistic trip-hop songs made at in the middle of the 90's. Big Tricky!

[DianeROU]

You and me, what does that mean?

Always, what does that mean?

Forever, what does that mean?

It means well manage

Ill master your language

And in the meantime Ill create my own

By my own

It means well manage

Ill master your language

And in the meantime Ill create my own

[xvipzipx]

al398 ur such a dolt. and you look at a Picasso and say "my little sister could do that" right? it's abstract! not to be interpretted litterally. what sense does it give u? i'm guessing your answer is nothing and that's cool but don't doesn't quite sound like ur ready to come out of Arkansas yet. Listening to CD's at Wal Mart has not quite educated you enough for the big world.

[al398247]

I honestly think this is just a nigger writing down random words and calling that "music". I mean, yes, the melody is nice, but the lyrics are shit. Tricky even came up with a completely new word (christiansands) instead of saying "Kristiansand" (a town in South Norway) to comply with the rhythm and rhyme. I mean, c'mon! What the fuck are you fascinated with here?!

And irooney75, I double your comment.

[Parthoris]

I adore this music and brilliant mind. I`m in love....

[nbgtrickster]

tricks so real.dont try to understand lyrics,no need,press your ear and feel it.pre millenium goes long way trough millenium and sticks to it.mascarades,make ups,misunderstandings,faking,l­iving lies and disceptions.beanith the surface,also above one there is always another layer of fragile reality.

[GnarlyPanda]

Great track, great album, great video. Too bad the volume is so low on this upload.

[HLimmen]

Heard this in Face Off. Orgasmic to say the least. LOL

[zoaspaimai]

one of the greatest artists of all time. get pre millenium tension. all his stuff is hot

[xxmyfavmusicxx]

you and me...what does that mean

always...what does that mean

forever...what does that mean

it means we'll manage

master your language

and in the meantime

I create my own

by my own

[marquemcnally]

Forever... what does that mean.

It means we'll manage.

Will you ever stick for someone who says 'forever' now that he's defined it? Sounds like he hit it square on the head.

[RichySKing]

Trip hop needs to be recognised globally.

brilliant track.

[ebomber777]

I think it´s burnt in our heads like a chip that helps us understand that the reality isn´t what we believe it is

[redpaul79]

yo watch WES MILES VIRUS videos yall

[deepaintpish]

He certaintly took his music further than he ever could have achieved with massive attack.

MA are pretty strong experimentally.

[luxuria65]

The volume is so very low on my computer. :-(

[Sahyeh]

Same here, low volume :(

[deliibrahim19]

Balay feat Tricky - Tongue Tied :

/watch?v=oiF1TNoo9OM

[downpeninsula]

Hip hop goes to Twin Peak's black lodge.

[mayasouls]

daddy

[mayasouls]

well manage. Master your language,and in the meantime

[pyram1dhead]

This played during the ending of 24's first episode. That splitscreen still gives me chills, and this song has a lot to do with it.

[monocle08]

I remember that. I knew Tricky was the artist but I was having trouble finding the title of this dark and disturbing tune.

I actually had to search for Tricky and 24 on Google and voila!

[inhumanizer]

bekleme odasında ne bicim kafalar yasamıs gündüz feneri

ama cok klas parca

o işlere bakıyoruz ..

[rdqlus1]

pure brilliance. screw genres or categories... just make music true to the soul

[vincynator]

word

[davidnc76]

one of my favorite tunes from the 90s.

[Meganrivers]

I really dig this song, thoguh I wish the sound was a tad better.

[villanodelcuento]

sin duda ke la cancion esta tremenda, aunke el video es un tanto bizarron, pero todo lo ke haga el mago tricky esta chido

[webbxjer]

one of a kind.

[DetectiveUtah]

theres nothing like being with your mates at 8 oclock am after coming from partying,in your house,listening tricky with plenty of "stuff" over the crystal table...christian sands is the perfect song for those moments

[georgia12e]

Reminds me of a David Lynch film

[ilppo1]

Luckily Tricky was cured when he stopped eating rye bread. Welcome to Helsinki Tricky kid!

[starsweet4]

cured from what?

[irooney75]

What's Tricky link with northern Europe? especially Finland (Helsinki) ?????

[lewenshk]

Tricky nous force à penser mais bien plus, il nous montre qu'est-ce qu'il y au bout de la pensée. Du divin et de la morte beauté. Grandiose.

[deliibrahim19]

the song that moved me "into" Tricky...

watch my channel for rare Tricks!

[032125]

Her voice is perfect for this track. It is slinky and beguiling; a perfect compliment to the throbbing, funky music.

[BrandCanadian]

Your so right! Nothing has sounded as passionate and grimey as mid-90s Trip Hop.

[BeccaHelene1989]

he's so special

[sleepwhileidrive]

He made a cool version of this song once,on the Quartfestival in Norway,called "Cristiansounds". After the city of Kristiansand, on the southcoast.

[behahve1]

This is one of the smoothest, "i'm gonna fuck you up and you won't even know it" songs ever.

So trippy.

[tuhumere]

thats why we need to start thinking deeper....thats what tricky is "passing on"...think ! ....and think....

beautiful...this is it !

[universum32]

When I heard "Blue Lines" some 15 years ago, I immediately knew that that was going to be the album of the decennium. I don´t think anything better came after that actually, and this was 1990 or 1991. Tricky, and this song, goes with that tradition and it´s one of the greatest pieces of music ever.

[EgyptfollowmyArt]

Also - The androgynous look is great on Martina Topley-Bird...I love when it switches between her in the dress and her in the tuxedo.

I think part of the video's message deals with how we are ignorant/oblivious to people that are begging for our attention - she just keeps reading the magazine even when he is literally crawling on the walls.

[EgyptfollowmyArt]

Agree with stretfordpoet - I love the merging of the voices.

The lyrics are so poetic.."I met a Christian in Christiansands, a devil in Helsinki"

Is it just me or is his voice really seductive?

[stretfordpoet]

one of my favourite ever tracks. 'forever, what does that mean? It means we'll manage, master your language' I love the way he uses two voices and the voices get blended and merged and the lyrics flip and swap over. Agree with poster below, 'angels' was a fantastic album.

[hanscarter]

Great song, great video, great artist. Too bad this version has poor audio.

[hollywoodpurplehaze]

angels with dirty faces is an amazing album but pre millenium tension was epic like pink floyd type lyrical images "in the mean time i'll create my own,by my own, it means we'll manage" brilliant and open for anticapation

[Shaolintamo]

cool when ya cause a cozy conditionin' cool when ya cause a cozy conditionin' cool when ya cause a cozy conditionin' cool when ya cause a cozy conditionin'

[ToneBj]

I think Tricky makes fantastic music, some songs are pretty wicked, but I also think most of his music is really sexy! Love this song ;)

[ELCNUmorFnaMehT]

Best tune on Pre-Millenium Tension

[yergender]

Tienen toda la razon ya no hace la musica la musica que hacia que te sumergieras en su musica y perecieras con sus letras obscuras y profundas, pero es parte de su evolucion, para bien o para mal. aun yo sere su fan para siempre...

[Shaolintamo]

Supongo que los grandes también caen aunque no por ello este hombre deje de ser, para mí, uno de los genios de la música un hombre con una personalidad que intimida.  Tricky 4evah!

[Shaolintamo]

Me encantaría que volviese más a sus orígenes, a lo que hizo de Tricky algo totalmente inédito hasta su llegada... Escucho "Vulnerable" y Blowback y, si, son muchos mejores discos que muchos de los que circulan por ahí, pero solo salvaría "Excess"...

[Shaolintamo]

Dios mio, que canción. Este hombre es el responsable de que cada dia me vuelva mas loco por la música aunque, en mi humilde opinión, en sus dos últimos discos... Adrian Thaws ya no es lo que era. ¿Donde quedan esas geniales y sucias instrumentales(Christinsands, Hell is 'round the corner, Ponderosa, Tricky Kid, Antihistamine, Broken Homes, etc)? y donde están esas líneas semirapeadas de los anteriores discos?

[tomoroxs1012]

pretty creative vid.. u and me, what does that mean?? always, what does that mean?? forever, what does that mean?? always, what does that mean?? forever, what does that mean?? it means we'll manage, master your language. and in the meantime, i'll create my own. it means we'll manage, master your language. and in the meantime, i'll create my own. DEEP

[ALPHAJUS]

Great song, video...not so much. "My defences, Become fences" great line.

[iloveram]

I think this is a great video.

[jamesarthur5]

tricky makes the worst videos

[paasodigital]

and then you eat the worst shit, been idiot. nobody.

[urbanr0cker]

I don't exactly agree with that but...some of them could better reflect the...term.."tone." Not that some aren't spec but some...not so much.

[jamesarthur5]

i hears ya, but have u seen the video for poems yet? LOL he looks like the crackhead from dave chappelle in that one

[LadyBugs380]

LOL......this is very very interesting... very

[monkeybeasto]

wow this video got me interested in Tricky

when it came out in what mtv called "amp"

freaky how he was married to bjork. It made sense. The man is brilliant. His music calls to me for reasons unknown. I feel elated.

[Eurobubble70]

I think he's talking bout himself and suffering from schizophrenia, he was a christian in christiansand and a devil in Helsinki, dealing with a relationship while his state of mind is shifting constantly.

[27Morpheus]

What if he speaks of an enigma, maybe it's a religion, in those lyrics that he's kickin..

Oh how opposite christianity and the REAL HIDDEN meaning of the good-book really are.

Lot of info know one knows.

yahushua DOT net SLASH baalgad DOT htm

[Vivdragon]

I remember  thinkin it might have something to do with sophies world the book as christiansand is in there too.

I stopped thinking years ago, now I just enjoy the tune.

[angelicpink]

christansands? what are they saying? I love this song but what is christansands and wat r they tring to say?

[retrotor]

Christiansand (Kristiansand) is the biggest southern city of Norway, and it also hosts an annual music festival, known for headlining the slightly alternative/ electronica/ hip hop/ metal in it's prime. Tricky played it in the nineties, this town stuck with him somehow..." I met a christian in Christiansands (Norway), and the devil in Helsinki (Finland)..." Both in Europe... ;o) That concludes today's geography lesson.

[angelicpink]

thank u I thought he was speaking of something less obvious (I do travel) possibly digging abit deeper. He spoke of his troubles and once stated in a popular magazine that he felt that he lost himself and was posessed and spoke of his personal demons when asked about his music style in that past vs. his most recent album. So I didnt know if he was somehow speaking or refering to that statement or feeling.

[crayonsharpener]

this makes my skin cold

[caramerica]

yea...what can you do?

[JNerdy]

I'm glad someone uploaded this video. The song is so fucking Heroin chill...smoke a bowl and relax baby..this is the good shit.

[dubaimisfit]

erm, yep, he is different without her

what does that mean

it means we'll manage...

[jolidu]

The sound isn't too bad, I have Pre-Millenium Tension on cd and it doesn't sound much different. His voice is very croaky!

[Akashawen]

Love tricky it's good to see him here.

[angelicpink]

thank u sooo much ive waited so long to hear this song & see the video.

One of my fav.

[cobie321]

ah the good old days, when music was art

[nasku86]

just brilliant-great voise,great video homegirrl-you're right Tricky will be never the same without her

[bustedflipflop]

Consistently producing the most original music anywhere, this guy is so underated now after the early hype. Crawling up the walls....classic. Beautiful vocals, and it all sounds fine to me. Pre-Millenium Tension is timeless album.

[homegirrl]

Uh oh. I'm digging Topley-Bird in that suit.

Tricky was never the same without her.

[40acresandmule]

hope to see You live Tricky!

[UNCBTC]

unreserved reality

[Zeta9966]

back when videos were creative and the artists were original... ah what happened.

[daegon72]

'no more drugs for that man'this song made Face Off for me first time i saw it

[behahve1]

Me too man, it was so class.

[lpmandragon]

this is the first song i heard from tricky when i was a teen and i heard it in face off of all things ive been tricked out ever since

[behahve1]

It makes that Face Off scene into one of the coolest ever IMO....

[anditrainedallnight]

Another well done video for a wicked tune. Not the best audio but that's okay.

[Mhendeb]

This song and video actually got me into Tricky.

[BrunetteGoddess83]

Awesome song. Trippy video.

[naysgrace]

He's the Man, Thx for the vid!

[zeezberlin]

Most cool!

One of fav Songs by Tricky :-)

[GumDispencer]

Thank yoooou, I've been waiting for this video to show up.

[vscbid]

Trick is awesome! christiansands is one of my favourite songs!
